This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled Study of Birch Trees designed from a painting by Josephine Bowes shows tall white birch trunks rising beside a meandering stream near a rustic country cottage. Painted around 1874, the work reflects the French artist and museum founder's devotion to naturalistic open-air landscape studies. A soft azure sky peeks through the verdant canopy, casting bright daylight onto pale peeling bark, cool blue water, and sunlit lime-green grass. Nature admirers, like myself, will love the contrast between shadowy woodland foliage and the bright, textured tree trunks that is simply breathtaking! This peaceful pastoral landscape will no doubt make a tranquil and rewarding stitching retreat. Our patterns use only full cross stitches. No blended colors are used. Instead, we use a variety of solid colors to achieve a more realistic effect.
